What does it take to shift from a high-earning CEO to a philanthropist dedicated to helping the less fortunate? Our guest, David Marlon, CEO of Vegas Stronger, walks us through his incredible journey. He was once at the helm of a successful insurance company, earning over a million dollars a year, but his life transformed when he traded his executive role for spearheading a non-profit organization. Today, his vision and commitment have grown a small rehab facility into a thriving 400-bed treatment center. His dedication has seen an impressive 87% of his clients maintaining their sobriety at the six-month mark. 

Many wonder how Vegas Stronger is helping to change lives in Las Vegas. Guided by its five core components: immediate access to care, longer treatment durations, integrated care, evidence-based treatments, David Marlon, has seen his organization flourish. But it's not all smooth sailing. Listen to David discuss the challenges he faces, including the struggle to secure funding. Yet, despite these hurdles, the satisfaction derived from seeing their clients' remarkable recovery makes it all worthwhile. 

No one walks this journey alone. David emphasizes the power of partnerships in the recovery community. From Metropolitan Police Department to shelters, key stakeholders have played significant roles in supporting the organization's mission. He also offers some insights on how to support those seeking recovery. Looking to make a difference in someone's life?
